Rancho Cucamonga Quakes News Release
Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Your Rancho Cucamonga Quakes travel to Adelanto today, where later tonight they'll face the High Desert Mavericks in a game that will serve as the tie-breaker to decide the First Half South Division Pennant.
After finishing the first half with identical 37-33 records, the second half has seen the two teams going in different directions.
